A lovely relaxing day cruising from Budapest to Vienna. We had time to enjoy our balcony, good food and all the luxuries the ship had to offer including the coffee machine which enabled passengers to enjoy good cappuccinos on demand.
We saw many small fishing huts by the river's edge, passed Bratislava and Duernstein Castle where Richard the Lionheart was held captive for ransom during the crusades before docking in Vienna.
An early evening meal with an Austrian dinner buffet was served before we left for our concert at Leichtenstein Palace with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, a tenor and soprano and members of the Vienna Ballet company performing the works of Mozart and Strauss Senior and Junior . This was a truly memorable and moving experience.
The weather was fairly cold, so we enjoyed the hot goulash soup that awaited us when we returned to the ship.
